Answers
Vertex: (−4,26))
Axis of symmetry: x=−4
y-intercept: 10
x-intercepts: −4±√26
Domain: R
Range: R∩(−∞,26]
Explanation:
Vertex
Re-writing y=−x2−8x+10 in vertex form:
XXXy=(−1)(x2+8x+42)+10+16)
XXXy=(−1)(x−(−4))2+(26)
with vertex at (−4,26)
Axis of Symmetry
Any parabola in the form y=ax2+bx+c has as an axis of symmetry the vertical line passing through the vertex.
In this case x=−4
y-intercept
The y-intercept is the value of y when x=0
XXXy=−(0)2−8(0)+10=10
x-intercepts
The x-intercepts are the values of x when y=0
0=(−1)(x+4)2+26
(x+4)2=26
x+4=±√26
x=−4±√26
Domain
y=−x2−8x+10 is defined for all Real values of x
Range
Since a parabolic equation with a negative coefficient for the x2 term opens downward, the vertex gives a maximum value for the Range.
The Range is ≤26
